With mid and forward pegs on the Glide it is significantly more comfortable and the twin cam 96 engine mated to their 6 speed gearbox is hard to beat for a slow cruiser. I also found the SGC stock buckhorn bars much more comfortable and attractive than those on the bob above. A matter of personal taste I guess. It's not a fast bike or particularly good handling...but that applies to all HD's (yes, including the V-rod). For the kind of riding you are considering, I'd recommend any of the dynas.
Thanks. That's what I was thinking, more or less. I liked the SGC you bought very much as well. I gather the bars just swap out. I really liked the black wire wheels on the Street Bob.
